In 1962. the national unemployment rate was 5.6 percent of the total force. In Dade County. it was 9.8 percent. or a total of 44.500 unemployed. Through 1962. there were approximately 105.000 Cuban refugees in Dade County who had not been resettled to other parts of the country. Of this total. 32.000 heads of familiesor single persons are unemployed. I might point out that the figure of 105.000 may actually be larger because it includes only those who register with the Cuban Refugee Center. Many Cubans have not done so because there is no requirement that they register. The consequences of such a high rate of unemployment In the community is obviously clear.
